Jerry Atrick
The 1969 leader issue is fully explained in the 'bookazine' and the displaced team leader (................) has his spot. There is nothing to hide and his name still graces the team's leader board in the reception area in the hangar at Scampton.
His name (which I've deleted in the quote) is on the board at Scampton, but it does not appear as a former Team Leader in the list on the Red Arrows website which is made available for anyone to read.

I didn't get to contact him personally
So you didn't obtain his views.
"fully explained"?
If you don't understand why he was embarrassed and why he would prefer the matter not to be resurrected then what you describe as your "time-limited research" clearly didn't uncover the full story.
I wonder about your motive for posting the name here - except to obtain free advertising for your 'bookazine'.
